Metformin, a widely used medication for type 2 diabetes, shows potential for extending lifespan and reducing age-related diseases. Researchers study its ability to improve insulin sensitivity, lower inflammation, and mimic the effects of caloric restriction.
This medication helps control blood sugar by enhancing the body’s response to insulin. Studies suggest it may also protect against heart disease, certain cancers, and other conditions linked to aging.
Metformin interacts with key metabolic pathways, which may slow aging and support long-term health.
Scientists continue to investigate whether metformin can be used beyond diabetes treatment. With its well-established safety profile, it remains a promising candidate for therapies that promote healthy aging and extend lifespan.
